will taking my boa eat again if i take him for a drive

Question

Answer
Hi Ruth,

i have never heard this advice but if you ask me, chances are it will probably make the problem worse. the driving will cause a lot of vibrations and snakes are very sensitive to vibrations - its how they hear. this will more than likely make no difference or make the problem worse.

if a snake stops eating it is probably a problem with the setup or due to the fact that it is breeding season currently. check your set up especially your temps ; ).

thanks for your question,

andy
